Here are some of the main points I took away. Please add in the comments what I forgot and I'll add it!
- You can [b]upgrade ANY legendary weapon to 365 attack[/b] damage but it will require Etheric Light (obtainable in Prison of Elders, Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner, and Nightfall) and it does NOT reset your current upgrades [url]http://i.imgur.com/HQ9wMss.png[/url]
- You can [b]upgrade ANY legendary armor to 42 light (level 34 with all pieces max) [/b]but it will require Etheric Light (obtainable in Prison of Elders, Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner, and Nightfall) and it does NOT reset your current upgrades. [b]CONFIRMED: Stated at 42:05 in the video linked below Chris says "Every legendary piece weapon and piece of armor in the game can now be upgraded from any release" [/b][url]http://i.imgur.com/8jeE81Z.png[/url]
- You can [b]upgrade exotics (including the Vex Mythoclast) and it only requires an exotic shard, weapon parts, and glimmer anytime no Xur needed[/b] [url]http://i.imgur.com/1ukWk0J.png[/url]
- You can now [b]reforge/reroll weapons obtained from the HoW DLC[/b] at the Gunsmith (old weapons are not capable) This WILL reset progress [url]http://i.imgur.com/NDiWlau.png[/url]
- Trials of Osiris will be a Friday - Reset ONLY activity
- Prison of Elders will have a weekly reset but will be dynamic and events will differ weekly (not much info here yet)
- [b]Variks (House of Judgement) will bring "Prison of Elders" rewards and rank items[/b] (ships, shaders, class items) and will have a predictable weekly inventory (possibly a mix of drops and rewards like Iron Banner)[url]http://i.imgur.com/FCEOGzI.png[/url]k
- You can now [b]trade any currency with the Speaker[/b] (shards for energy, glimmer for motes, etc.) [url]http://i.imgur.com/XbZuXUM.png[/url]
- There will be new weapon perks introduced. One example I saw: "Temporary increase to sprint speed after a melee kill"
- They said they gear will drop during different stages of Prison of Elders
- Petra will be the NPC that drives the HoW story
- [b]You will be REQUIRED to complete Petras story mission[/b] in order to unlock Trials of Osiris and Prison of Elders
- The Reef will contain a cryptarch, vault, bounty tracker, post master just like the tower. [b]All space and rank are same as the tower [/b]
- Gunsmith will now sell telemetries
- More UNIQUE weapons not just a reskin of an older weapon [url]http://i.imgur.com/aaDxupM.png[/url]
- About commendations Gothalion said on Twitter "@Gothalion: Deej forgot to talk about commendations. I'm making him put it in the weekly update. It's really big. You'll love it."
- Vendor weapons and armor from HoW do not have upgrade nodes for damage. Weapons start at 331 and armor starts at 36 light and then appear to need to be ascended with Etheric Light to hit max level
- [b]Prison of Elders (and probably Trials of Osiris) gear will start at 42 light[/b]. No Etheric Light upgrade needed
- Commendations are gone and can be cashed in for 250 rank points
Please let me know what I'm missing!

Bearbeitet von KimHasselager: 4/23/2015 6:15:24 AMThanks a lot !!! Sounds really interesting! especially also the speaker where it would be easier to get what you need, if your unlucky ( Events only give you the same reward always ) The trial part is fine, as that activity fits in weekend gaming :)

Anyone know why the crucible gun store only has a selection of gun types available, does the store refresh or will some weapons be rng?
-
1 AntwortenGonna be tough to decide whether to upgrade the armor first or weapons with the new material. Hmm mm mm. Wonder how many etheric materials will drop in the arena? Hopefully just as much as radiant stuff.
-
2 AntwortenWhat do I need to search for on YouTube to find this stream? I found a 9 minute one but I would like to watch the original. Thanks in advance

Can someone post a link to the feed, please?

28 Antwortenanyone notice how when asked how about grimoire lore being put into the game rather than having to go somewhere else to see them. He tries really hard to avoid the question bytalking about how much he enjoys the lore in HoW blah blah blah. No there's no mention of girmoire cards being put into the game , but blah blah blah I like how How this and that. The guys have worked so hard on HoW "this is deej here playing the worlds smallest violin" . And then completely jumps off the topic by asking about weapons and queens wrath. Not slick buddy. Not slick at all. How can even say their listening to the community and saying their doing a great way of story telling. Let's take a moment to check how valid this comment is. So folks can we check grimoire cards in destiny? Nope.... Ok moving on .... can anyone tell me the full story of destiny up to the point of house of wolves? Full story not no vague plot of the light from the one that saves us all blah blah. Anyone? full story? Nope . I understand people complain a lot. Especially when it's not called for. But Deej doesn't make it any easier when knowing full well that was a poor excuse of an answer. He would have been better off just saying no. A real simple no. Because the reality of it is just a no. They are not doing it. They want people to interact with their site more so they didn't want to put the grimoire cards into the game. Just be honest bungie.

5 AntwortenYou should add that any vendor gear from the new DLC(and maybe Prison of Elders gear?) does NOT have upgrade nodes for damage/armor. We don't know how much experience the weapon takes to upgrade all of the perks, but it is nice to know that only the new single node upgrade is needed.
-
5 AntwortenI am surprisingly excited for the variety that this creates. Now we won't have 700 level 32 hunters/warlocks/titans all looking the same.
-
1 AntwortenLook, i dont give a shit about the lore. because in every friggen story they show me -blam!-ing clouds. i can easily drift off onto my phone because of friggen clouds or atmosphere or just any loading screen. However, we owe bungie some credit. they really -blam!-ing did it! they made this game less of a grind. And you gotta thank them for that.
-
just watched it... actually really happy about what bungie has done here.. kudos still waiting to see how it all plays of course, but cautiously optimistic for sure.. seems they are listening...
-
I just realized: attack power 365. 365 days in a year. Maximum level available in year 1. Intentional or not, pretty cool.
-
2 AntwortenWhen you ascend your exotics, does it resest their progress? Can anyone answer this for me please?
-
5 AntwortenI didn't see anything about upgrading your exotics to 365... Will you have to re-level it back up or is it like the legendary weapons you just have to get the upgrade material and bam it's 365????
-
These are very welcome additions! [spoiler]But i am still butthurt that the Arena is only for three players.[/spoiler]
-
4 AntwortenBearbeitet von mojoo j0j0: 4/24/2015 10:38:02 AMCool we can upgrade gear
-
3 AntwortenIt seems like the new legendary weapons have less perks available. What's up with that?
-
2 AntwortenJust put the damn grimwar cards at the tower near the speaker. There is no excuse at this point not to add them in. Maybe even a special ghost menu prompt.
-
1 Antwortensadly not to excited about what they have shown so far. could careless about shaders and ships. Plus from what they have shown the patrols and bounties are just a rehash of what we've been doing from the start. we just kill more fallen. you can only do the same kill 2 mobs at the same time with a fusion rifle so many times. Also they better not force people to do certain content just to level up. If someone just wants to play strikes/nightfall only then they should be able to get to max level that way. There should not be any barrier to max level. It just should take longer.
-
3 AntwortenSo if you upgrade armor to be able to have more light, will it also increase the defense stats??
-
Bravo Bungie, bravo. I just wish this wasn't done while I was at work :'(
-
9 AntwortenSo... [i]another[/i] rare currency which you will need to grind for to upgrade your old Legendary weapons and armor. I thought Bungie said they'd learned their lesson.
-
All hail HoW!
-
10 AntwortenYour second point was NOT confirmed in the broadcast. I just made a post about it. Where in the broadcast did they say ALL legendary armor could be upgraded? All they showed and discussed was Raid armor. Can anyone tell me where in the broadcast they said all legendary armor?
-
SO F*CKING AWSOME!
-
5 AntwortenExotic armor upgrade to max by shard alone like exotic weaps or new materials needed?
